Privacy Policy

Afante Studios Corporation (“ASC,” “us,” or “we”) respects your privacy, and we want you to understand how we may collect personal information about you through our websites https://astroxp.io (each a “Website” and collectively, “Websites”), and how that information may be used, maintained and, in some cases, shared. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) sets forth the privacy practices and policies governing our Websites.


“Personal information”, is any information that enables us to identify you, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as your name, identification number, location data, online identifier or one or more factors specific to you. Personal information includes “sensitive personal information” and “pseudonymised personal information” but excludes anonymous information or information that has had the identity of an individual permanently removed.


BY USING OR ACCESSING OUR WEBSITES OR BY PROVIDING PERSONAL INFORMATION TO US ON OR THROUGH THESE WEBSITES, YOU CONSENT TO THE COLLECTION, USE, TRANSFER AND DISCLOSURE OF THAT INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND APPLICABLE LAW.


  1. Information, Its Collection and Use

    2. The following describes the types of personal and other information we may collect about you, and how we use and maintain that information:


    1. Information You Provide to Us

      2. ASC gathers and retains personal information about you, including name, email address, physical address, phone number, or other personal or background information when you voluntarily submit it to us. Before you can utilize some portions of our Websites, we may require that you request access to those portions by providing us with your contact information, a username and a password. If you provide us with a telephone number or an email address, you expressly agree that we, or our authorized agents, can use that information to contact you about your access request or your account, or about ASC and its associated activities.


      ASC collects information reported by individuals and entities as part of its regulatory activities, which may include personal information such as names of reporting entities’ personnel, business and mailing addresses, phone numbers, accounting license numbers, and pending or concluded criminal, civil or administrative actions. If you submit personal information of others to ASC, you represent and warrant that you have the necessary consent or authority to do so.


      We may keep any information that you provide to us indefinitely.


    2. Social Networking Activities

      3. Our Websites may allow you to enter social networking websites such as Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Twitter. If you choose to follow, like, friend, share, or comment on our social media websites, or otherwise share information on these social networking websites, we may receive information about you. We may use such information about you in a variety of ways, including to enhance your experience with the ASC's outreach and to communicate with you about new ASC activities. We may keep all of this information indefinitely.


    3. Site Use Information

      4. ASC may collect technical information relating to each time a visitor comes to our Websites, including the IP address of visitors to our Websites. Such information is considered personal information under this Privacy Policy. We may also collect information about your use of our Websites, including number of visits, average time spent on the Websites, pages viewed, page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), methods used to browse away from the page, and any phone number used to call us. Gathering this information helps us to improve the content we offer. You do not have to register with our Websites before we can collect this information. We may share with third parties this information or other data on an aggregated basis without the use of any information that personally identifies you.


    4. How Information is used

      5. We use your personal information according to the terms of the Privacy Policy in effect at the time of our use. We will only process your personal information, including sharing it with third parties, where (1) you have provided your consent which can be withdrawn at any time, (2) the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party (including your registration or agreements with us), (3) we are required by law, (4) processing is required to protect your vital interests or those of another person, or (5) processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate commercial or regulatory interests, provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

      We use the personal information you give us, that we collect through social networking activities:


      1. to carry out our obligations arising from your registration and any other agreement entered into between you and us;
      2. to identify you and communicate with you;
      3. to update and communicate with you regarding your account as required;
      4. to provide you with the information and services you request from us;
      5. to conduct our regulatory activities and to conduct research and analysis;
      6. to respond to your questions and provide related services;
      7. to improve ASC Websites;
      8. to enhance your experience with ASC’s outreach;
      9. to communicate with you about new or existing ASC activities and other information that ASC believes is relevant and useful to its visitors, where you have not opted out of receiving such information;
      10. to send you third party information that ASC believes is relevant and useful to you, where you have given your consent;
      11. to notify you about changes to our activities or related services or to ask you to provide feedback;
      12. to enable you to participate in a conference, seminar or complete a survey;
      13. to administer and protect our business and Websites (including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, system maintenance, support, reporting and hosting of data); or
      14. to process and consider you for employment at ASC.

      We use the aggregate, anonymous site use data collected to perform statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of visitors to the Websites; to measure user interests regarding specific areas of the Websites; and to analyze how and where best to use our resources. Without such data, we would not know which parts of the Websites are the most popular, and we would not be able to change and update the content and services appropriately.


  2. Cookies Policy

    3. When you first access our Websites from certain jurisdictions, you will receive a message advising you that cookies and similar technologies are in use. By clicking “accept cookies”, closing the message, or continuing to browse the Website, you signify that you understand and agree to the use of these technologies, as described in this Cookie Policy.


    You do not have to accept cookies and consent can be withdrawn at any time. If you prefer not to receive cookies through our Websites, you can set your browser to either reject all cookies, to allow only “trusted” websites to set them, or to accept only those cookies from those sites you are currently on. Unless you have adjusted the setting of your browser so that it will refuse cookies, our system may issue cookies when you log on to our Websites. If your browser is set to reject cookies, or if your browser notifies you that you are about to receive a cookie and you reject it, then your use of our Websites may not be as efficient as it would be if the cookie were enabled, and some parts of the Websites may not work at all.


    As well as cookies, we may use other technologies to recognize and track visitors to the Websites. A web beacon (also known as a “tracking pixel” or “clear GIF”) is a clear graphic image (typically a one-pixel tag) that is delivered through a web browser or HTML e-mail, typically in conjunction with a cookie.


    Web beacons allow us, for example, to monitor how users move from one page within our websites to another, to track access to our communications, to understand whether users have come to our websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to measure how ads have been viewed and to improve site performance.


    We do not use technology that recognizes a “do-not-track” signal from your web browser because we do not track users other than for aggregate statistical purposes.

    4. If you have subscribed to or are otherwise receiving AS news or similar information from us by email and no longer want to receive such information in the future, you may opt out of receiving these emails by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of those emails you receive or on the unsubscribe page on the Websites. Please allow ample time for us to process your request. If you are having difficulty unsubscribing, please contact us directly at help@astroxp.io.
